Today I choose: Happiness

Life for me right now involves a lot of positive thinking, a lot of thought alterations and choosing to be happy. I think that's one thing that's so hard to forget in times of crisis or stress- we can choose how we want to feel. After struggling for a long time with certain personal situations, last month I finally said "ENOUGH!" and I've not looked back once.

I caught up with a family member I'd not seen in 3 years the other day (ridiculous, right?) and after the usual non-stop chatter for hours until you're all up to date with each other's life, he looked at me and said "so, you're good?" and for the first time in what feels like SO long, I was able to genuinely smile and say "right now? Absolutely!".

I'm off today, and have a to-do list the size of my arm consisting of arranging flat viewings, renewing car insurance, the 30 Day Shred, food shopping, meal making and maybe even squeezing in a long bubble bath. How's your Monday looking?

I completely agree! I'm learning to pause, take a moment, and change my way of thinking when I get upset or stressed out. I just followed you. I'm looking forward to seeing future posts! I think we have a lot in common. :)
